the shell game is that Obama allows for the enrichment of U235 in Russia for peaceful purposes, while irans cyclotrons keep humming along pumping out enriched U235 for their bomb.....[censored] hitler
Enriching Iran's Uranium: Obama Gives Iran's Nuke Program a Helping Hand
This will test the bounds of your ability to suspend your disbelief. And please spare me the talk about Obama's naivete. This is no accident.
Moving Iran's Nuclear Clock Forward (TIA Daily)
by Jack Wakeland
Washington Post columnist David Ignatius passes on a report in Nucleonics Week that Iran's uranium enrichment may be stuck at 3.5% due to impurities.
The Iranians have not been able to remove low percentages of metallic fluorides from the UF-6 feed stock that they've laboriously enriched to 3.5% U-235 over the past five years. This has the potential to stop their enrichment program cold—at the level used for civilian nuclear power.
Thus, the Obama administration's offer to have the Iranians' impure 3.5% UF6 shipped to Russia where it can be enriched to 19.75% in that nation's modern, high-capacity radio-chemical plants may not be of merely incremental assistance to the raving anti-Semitic military junta that runs Iran. It may be essential for the continuation of their own independent bomb program (independent, that is, from whatever of North Korea's bomb program they're sharing).
In my October 15 column for TIA Daily, I noted that the Russians would return the highly enriched fuel back to Iran in the form of uranium oxide. It turns out the Russian-purified and Russian-enriched fuel is metallic fuel for Iran's little medical isotope reactor.
So not only will the 19.75% enriched uranium get Iran past a chemical stumbling block they haven't been able to resolve in their uranium bomb program; it will get them metallic fuel that can be converted back to highly purified uranium hexafluoride gas very, very easily.
Our president, his advisors, and his State Department have so deep a contempt for the United States and all of Western Civilization that they didn't look into what the Russian deal would give Iran before they offered to sign onto it. All they were interested in was whether or not it would be an effective gesture of "open-handed" American submissiveness that would calm Iran's military junta. Well, it was effective, alright. Obama's negotiating team has moved the doomsday clock for Israel forward from 11:45 to 11:58 pm in one single step. The Russian deal probably gave Iran's leaders the first good night's sleep they've had in years.
Thank you, Barack Obama, friend of dictators, enemy of America.
